Hello,
I didn't know that they were using vendor naming for rate limiting.

I have two questions though
1) Does Google allow their time servers to be directly used?
2) Can we apply for a vendor name like "oe" so at least they can
throttle/rate limit their inbound traffic?
Because at current state, timesyncd is unreliable and doesn't have sane
defaults enabled. pool.ntp.org is a community effort but has thousands of
servers that are available for service. Not just 4 Google controlled servers.
